> > Javier Cardona explains what Cozybit used to test the 802.11s code
> > implemented in mac80211. He used extensions to mac80211_hwsim that
> > allow links to be lossy. Cozybit also wrote a daemon to communicate
> > to
> > mac80211_hwsim to statically or dynamically alter the
> > characteristics
> > of the links. Right now mac80211_hwsim only accounts for packet loss
> > between links but extensions can be made to also add latency later.
> > He
> > also demos a Java application used to create your topology for
> > mac80211_hwsim. Researchers should get a chubby with this framework
> > --
> > you can extend this to do really cool shit, all in software with no
